Ask anyone that’s ever visited Dubai and they’re all sure to tell you that one or two weeks in the emirate is not long enough to enjoy all that the city has to offer. So, the next time you’re here, whether for business or leisure, make sure your trip is at least a month long.
At this point, you’re probably thinking that this would be a logistical nightmare. You’d have to book accommodation, which, if staying in a hotel, would cost you a small fortune or if deciding to rent, would be too much of a hassle and commitment for the short period you’re here. Plus, who would want to live in a tiny hotel room for months on end?
Well, this is all true and valid points are being made, there is an alternative you might not have considered. Dubai is filled with hotels and serviced apartments that are specifically designed to cater for the individual who falls in this in-between zone – where you’re here too long for an Airbnb or standard hotel room but staying for too short a time to take up a rental contract.
Today, we look at the reasons why you should consider hotels and serviced apartments for your next long-term stay in Dubai.
Eating out won’t be your only option
The glamorous emirate is home to some of the best dining in the Middle East and you’ll be spoilt for choice every time you step out to grab a bite to eat. However, going out for breakfast, lunch and supper every day can be tiresome, time-consuming and expensive.
Serviced apartments and hotels come equipped with a kitchenette, cutlery, cooking equipment and dining facilities that enable you to prepare your own gourmet meals – just the way you like it – in the privacy of your suite. This provides you with unlimited freedom to cook whenever you want, as well as store your extra food for leftovers while saving you the hassle of eating out every day of your stay.
It's a cost-effective alternative
Hotel and serviced apartments offer great value for money. Compared to luxury hotels, Airbnbs and rentals, they can be surprisingly affordable and come with extra perks and services that are not included in a standard hotel room.
Not to mention that many long-term accommodation options offer specials based on the length of your trip. In other words, the longer you stay, the cheaper it will be. This is because most hotels and rentals charge a fixed, unwavering rate per night – which can really add up fast if you’re planning an extended visit – but serviced apartments have flexible rates that are much easier on the wallet.
Stay in a home away from home
Since you’re planning to be in Dubai for a while, you’ll want to be as comfortable as possible. Hotel and serviced apartments offer the comforts and feeling of home throughout your visit. These luxury accommodations are specifically designed to be a home away from home – acting as your personal, private space for the duration of your stay. How does it achieve this? By separating the kitchen, living and bedroom areas, the suite will feel more homely and less like you’re living out of a suitcase for months.
Plus, after a day of business meetings or exploring the city, there is nothing better than unwinding in a space that truly feels like your own.
Enjoy the luxuries of a hotel
When staying at a serviced hotel apartment, you’ll have access to all the facilities, amenities and services that the establishment has to offer. This means you can still order room service, enjoy daily housekeeping services, take dips in the rooftop swimming pool, eat at the hotel’s onsite restaurant, make use of the concierge service and more – the same as you would when staying in a standard hotel room.
Complete privacy and extra space
Spending a month or more in a cramped hotel room is our definition of torture! Fortunately, hotels and serviced apartments offer privacy and lots of space. After a while, a standard hotel room can start to feel suffocating and cramped, but serviced accommodation provides all the square footage you need when staying in one place for an extended amount of time. Plus, it’s also perfect for entertaining guests – which is great if you plan on making new friends or want to have a business meeting in a more private setting.
